Why do you crave dessert after dinner? Why are you hungry again an hour after eating? And why does weight sometimes seem to accelerate even when you're watching calories? In Episode 3 of this series on ultra-processed and hyper-palatable foods, Dr. Brendan McCarthy breaks down the biology behind cravings, hunger, and weight gain. This episode connects the dots between food engineering, blood sugar spikes, insulin, and the brain's reward system—showing why this isn't a willpower problem, but a biological response to the foods we're eating. Dr. McCarthy, Chief Medical Officer at Protea Medical Center in Tempe, Arizona, explains how modern ultra-processed foods are designed to override normal satiety signals, destabilize blood sugar, and drive continued consumption. Over time, this can create hormonal changes that make weight gain easier and weight loss harder. In this episode you'll learn: • Why ultra-processed foods trigger cravings and repeat eating • How glycemic spikes lead to hunger shortly after meals • The role of insulin as a “routing hormone” for calories • How food processing affects fat storage in the body • Why weight gain can accelerate over time • Why this is not a failure of willpower This series focuses on precision nutrition and endocrinology, helping you understand the real biological mechanisms behind metabolism, hunger, and weight regulation. If you've ever wondered why controlling food intake feels so difficult despite your best efforts, this episode will help you understand what your body is actually responding to.   Citations: Episode 3 — Mechanism-Anchored Evidence Summary This episode explores how ultra-processed foods, liver metabolism, adipose tissue, hormones, and brain signaling interact to drive cravings, fat storage, and weight gain. Key mechanisms and supporting references include: Hepatic First-Pass Metabolism: Carbohydrates enter the liver via portal circulation, controlling post-meal fuel distribution (Samuel & Shulman, 2016). Fructose and Lipogenesis: Fructose bypasses key glycolytic regulation, fueling hepatic fat synthesis (Softic et al., 2020). De Novo Lipogenesis: Excess carbs activate SREBP-1c and ChREBP, producing triglycerides in the liver (Donnelly et al., 2005). VLDL Export: Hepatic triglycerides are packaged into VLDL and sent to adipose tissue (Adiels et al., 2008). Adipose Storage: Lipoprotein lipase delivers circulating triglycerides to fat cells (Kersten, 2014). Insulin Resistance: Hepatic lipid accumulation impairs insulin signaling (Samuel et al., 2004). Hyperinsulinemia & Fat Storage: Insulin promotes triglyceride storage and suppresses lipolysis (Czech, 2017). Aromatase & Estrone: Expanded adipose increases aromatase activity, raising estrone levels (Simpson et al., 1999; Key et al., 2002). Inflammation: Enlarged fat cells release cytokines, worsening insulin resistance (Hotamisligil, 2006). Ultra-Processed Foods & Overeating: Highly palatable foods drive excess calorie intake (Hall et al., 2019). Reward Signaling: Dopamine pathways reinforce eating behaviors (Volkow et al., 2013). Satiety Disruption: Low fiber and processed structure bypass satiety hormones like GLP-1 and PYY (Slavin & Green, 2007). Synthesis: Ultra-processed foods → rapid hepatic load → lipogenesis → triglyceride export → adipose expansion → estrone increase → inflammation & insulin resistance → cravings and repeated consumption. This creates a self-reinforcing metabolic cycle linking diet, liver, adipose tissue, hormones, and behavior.   Dr. Brendan McCarthy is the founder and Chief Medical Officer of Protea Medical Center in Arizona. With over two decades of experience, he's helped thousands of patients navigate hormonal imbalances using bioidentical HRT, nutrition, and root-cause medicine. He's also taught and mentored other physicians on integrative approaches to hormone therapy, weight loss, fertility, and more.

What do you do when the light refuses to cooperate? In this episode of the Camera Shake Podcast, Kersten is joined by concert photographer Steve Brazil to explore how photographers can create powerful, emotional images in the most challenging low-light conditions.Drawing on years of experience shooting live music, Steve shares how working in unpredictable and often terrible lighting environments sharpens creative instincts, forces faster decision-making, and shifts the focus from technical perfection to emotional impact. The conversation covers low light photography, anticipation, motion blur, embracing imperfection, and why bad lighting can actually make you a stronger photographer.Although rooted in concert photography, the lessons apply equally to wedding photography, street photography, documentary work, and any situation where lighting conditions are far from ideal.If you're interested in photography, videography, or building a sustainable photography business, this episode offers real-world insight you won't get from spec sheets or gear reviews.

Neuropathic pain affects nearly 10% of the global population, yet effective treatments remain elusive. In this episode of Spark Time, we sit down with oncologists-turned-biotech-founders Christian Kersten and Marte Cameron of Akigai to hear the remarkable story of how a serendipitous clinical observation led to a new approach for treating chronic pain.From the first wheelchair-bound patient who walked again after EGFR inhibitor therapy, to the 100+ patients who have since experienced life-changing relief, Christian and Marte share the science and the vision behind Akigai's mission: to bring effective, non-opioid solutions to millions living with neuropathic pain. This is a story of discovery, persistence, and hope for one of medicine's most stubborn challenges.
